Topic: Testing Concern- Thrush (Read 1580 times)

My question or concern is as follows. In November 2012 I sucked the breast of a massage gal for about 20 seconds. I also got a hand job. That is all I did. Since that time I was sick with gastritis, hydrocele, jock itch etc. I was given many courses of antibiotics(8 in the last year). I have been DIAGNOSED with ORAL THRUSH by my GP 4 times. I have been tested EVERY MONTH using rapid antibody tests since this indiscretion. That is 11 rapid hiv antibody tests. I also had a duo test completed 5 and 6 months post exposure. All my tests have been negative. My most recent thrush was SEptember 26th. My last antibiotic was June 1.

Before this my only health concern was chronic sinus disease. Allergist tested my IGG, IGA and IGM. All were fine.

First of all thrush and HIV are completely un-related, yes thrush can be sexually transmitted, but it can also be caused by a poor diet or antibiotics or even too much stress.

Here's a question for you: Was the lady in question lactating and did you consume any of it?.

As Jeff G has already explained to you, you are HIV negative, and that is unlikely to change. If you are constantly getting thrust then you need to talf to your Doctor he is the only one who can help you with that, this is an HIV support forum.
